SAINT JOHN – Sea Dogs captain Jonathan Huberdeau had an
impressive weekend, earning him Quebec Major Junior Hockey League second star
honours. The Telus three stars for the week were announced this afternoon.
Huberdeau netted a hat trick in Saint John’s 5-0 win over
the PEI Rocket in Charlottetown on Saturday afternoon. He also added an assist.
On Sunday at Harbour Station, the Florida Panthers prospect scored again and
added another helper in the Sea Dogs’ 7-2 victory over the Acadie-Bathurst
Titan.
As the QMJHL’s website notes, nine of Huberdeau’s 10
shots this weekend were considered legitimate scoring chances.
The Sea Dogs are 10-1 since Huberdeau’s return from the
World Junior Hockey Championship. They are currently on a nine-game winning
streak heading into Wednesday’s game in PEI.
Halifax Mooseheads goaltender Zachary Fucale was named
the first star while Cape Breton’s Jonathan Brunelle picked up third star
honours, respectively.
Although he didn’t win a star this week, the play of
Tomas Jurco should be noted. He had four assists on Saturday and registered another
helper yesterday, completing a beautiful give-and-go with Stanislav Galiev.
Since returning from the world juniors, Jurco has four goals and 10 assists in 10 games.
